Abstract

In a process for knitting a fabric by hooking loops in a partial knitting region partially or entirely between front and rear needle beds and shifting the loops sideways, loops in the shifting region are transferred onto an opposite needle bed every time when the partial knitting region forms a course appropriately. After the front and rear needle beds are shifted relatively and before shifting of loops on a wale under pause state in the partial knitting process is completed, the loops are held on a needle bed on the side opposite to a needle bed for forming the loops of next course in the following partial knitting. In the following knitting, a knitting for transferring only the loops of a wale forming the loops of next course back onto an original needle bed prior to loop formation is repeated, thus knitting a region where partial knitting and shifting are performed in parallel on a flatbed knitting machine without generating such problems as drop stitch or broken thread.

Description

Knitting method

The present invention relates to a method of knitting a knitted fabric with a flat knitting machine, and particularly to a method of knitting a reverse or knitting area by knitting by reversing a yarn feeding direction in the middle of a knitting width.

The present invention relates to a knitting method of knitting by changing loops between front and rear needle beds. 1 Kita-Kei Technology

When knitting the front body of a vest or sweater with a flat knitting machine, a knitted fabric called integral garment that can form a neck opening on the knitting machine and reduce sewing work after knitting is completed Various methods have been devised. As one method of knitting integural garments, the applicant of the present invention has disclosed a Japanese patent on a knitting method in which the number of ales around the neck opening of a vest or sweater is increased to increase the perimeter of the neck opening. It was disclosed in Registration No. 25383842. FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate a method of increasing the perimeter of the neck opening of the base 101 by the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Registration No. 25383841. In Japanese Patent Registration No. 2 5 3 8 4 2 1, the front body 101 of the vest is knitted from the hem rubber 102 to the neck opening 103, and the neck opening 103 After the start of the formation, the front body 101 is branched into left and right front bodies 101a and 101b, and the front bodies 101a and 101b are knitted by turning back. After line V, the left and right front bodies 101a and 101b are moved outward, respectively, and the neck opening 103 and the left and right front bodies 101a and 101b are moved. An empty needle is formed between the needles, a new loop is formed on the empty needle, and the perimeter of the periphery 104 of the neck opening 103 is increased to increase the perimeter. A large-diameter collar 105 can be formed by forming a collar 105 following the periphery 104 of the collar opening 103 with an increased number of ales. By performing the above-described knitting, it is possible to manufacture a high-product-value vest that allows the head to easily pass through the opening for the neck when worn. , The knitting after starting the knitting to widen the periphery of the neck opening of the front body 101 of the above-mentioned belt will be described with reference to the knitting course diagram in FIG. Since the same knitting is performed symmetrically in the left and right front bodies 1 ◦ 1a and 101b, only the knitting in the left front body 101b will be described below. Course 1 in Fig. 8 shows the right part of the base 101 when the knitting up to line V in Fig. 7 is completed. The front bed needles A to D are the neck opening 103, and the front bed needles E to K are the left front body 101b. In course 2, the left front body 10 ib locked to the needles E to K of the front bed is moved to the rear bed, and in course 3, the rear bed is pitched one pitch to the right and the left front body 1 Move the loop of 0 1 b to the front bead, and set the needle E of the front bead to an empty hand. Subsequently, in course 4, yarn is fed to the needle E of the front bed to form a new loop, and yarn is fed to the needles F to F of the front bed. In course 5, yarn is fed to needles F of the front bead and the left front body 101b is knitted. In course 6, the loop of needle F ~ of the front bead is moved to the rear bead, and in course 7, the rear bead is racked one pitch to the right, and then the left front body 101b is moved to the front bead. Transfer back to. Then, in course 8, a new loop is formed on the needle F of the front bead, and the needle G of the front bead! In the course 9, the yarn is fed to the needles M to G of the front bead to knit the left front body 101b. Thereafter, the same knitting as in courses 6 to 9 is repeated, and a new ball is added to the front needles E to G at the periphery 104 of the neck opening 103 so that the state of course 10 is established. After that, by knitting yarns to needles N to A of the front bead in course 11, knitting to increase the number of ales of the periphery 104 of the neck opening in the left front body 1◦1b is completed. After that, the same knitting is performed on the right front body 101a, and then the collar 105 is formed to complete the front body 101. In addition to the above-mentioned knitting, by performing the reverse knitting to narrow the knitting width between the left and right front bodies, the shoulders 9a and 9b as shown in the vest of Fig. 1 can be formed. However, according to the method disclosed in Patent Registration No. 25 384 21, the left and right front bodies 101a and 101b are outwardly arranged as shown in courses 3 and 7 in FIG. Each time it is moved, the left and right front bodies 101a, 101b are all moved back to the front bead to form a loop. The left and right front bodies 101a and 101b were repeatedly transferred between the front and rear beds. There must be. If the left and right front bodies 101a and 101b are turned back to form the shoulders 9a and 9b, the loop that has been put in a dormant state must be repeatedly transferred between the front and rear beds. However, if the number of ales at the periphery 104 of the neck opening 103 is greatly increased, problems such as thread breakage and loop lengthening may occur. As described above, in the method disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 25383842, when a shoulder drop is formed, problems such as thread breakage due to transfer occur, so that a sufficient opening for the neck is required. The number of ales could not be increased. Disclosure of the invention

In order to solve the above-described problems, a knitted fabric knitting method according to the present invention includes a flat knitting machine including at least a pair of front and rear needle beds, in which one or both of the needle beds can slide left and right. The knitting device is used to reverse the yarn feeder in the middle of the knitting width direction to form a turn-up knitting area in which knitting in which the needles located at the ends of the knitting width are sequentially stopped is repeated, and a part of the turn-up knitting area or A knitted fabric knitting method in which all loops are shifted between the front and rear needle beds and moved to the side. After transferring the needle to the bed and moving the front and rear needle beds relative to each other, the knitting that has been suspended during the return knitting is continued until the loop of the ale is completed. Needle bed for loop formation of course Holds on the needle bed on the opposite side to form the next course loop in the subsequent knitting.It is characterized by repeating knitting by transferring only the ale loop back to the original needle bed before forming the loop. . According to the configuration of the invention described above, a loopback knitting region is formed in which knitting is sequentially repeated from the needle located at the end of the knitting width to a rest state, and a part or all of the loops of the loopback knitting region is formed by the front and rear needles. When knitting a knitted fabric by shifting between the beds and moving it to the side, the loop in the area to be shifted is turned back and the needle bed on the opposite side to the needle bed for knitting Transfer to When the loop of the area to be shifted from the needle bed on the opposite side to the original needle bed was moved back in order to perform the subsequent return knitting, it was put into a pause state in the process of the return knitting. With the loop locked on the opposite needlebed, Perform loop formation for the next course. Transfer only the ale loop back to the front bed and repeat the knitting to form the loop until all the knitting is completed. By doing so, it is not necessary to transfer the loop that was put into a halt state in the process of the return knitting between the front and rear needle beds many times in order to perform the shifting, and thread breakage or loop breakage may occur. There is no danger of being stretched.

In addition, the knitted fabric knitting method of the present invention includes a flat knitting machine including at least a pair of front and rear needle beds, one or both of which are slidable left and right, and the body from the hem. In the process of knitting toward the neck, after the formation of the opening for the neck is started, the left and right bodies are turned back and knitted by different yarn feeders across the opening for the neck, and the left and right bodies are sequentially turned from the aile on the shoulder tip side While in the rest state, the left and right bodies are switched between the front and rear needle beds and moved outwards to form empty hands between the opening for the collar and the left and right front bodies, and a new loop is formed on the empty needle. A knitting method for forming a collar after increasing the number of ales at the periphery of a neck opening by forming a collar, wherein the knitting in which the left and right bodies are turned back and knitted includes the following steps:

(1) The process of knitting one of the right and left bodies as needed

(2) A step of locking the one body turned back in step 1 to the opposite needle bed and relatively moving the front and rear beads in a direction in which the neck opening widens.

(3) Of the one body that has been locked to the opposing needle bed in step 2, continue knitting by return knitting in the subsequent knitting. Only the aile loop is transferred back to the original needle bed. Process

(4) A step of repeating steps 1 to 3 until the formation of the one body is completed.

According to the configuration of the invention described above, in the process of knitting the body from the hem to the neck, after the formation of the opening for the neck is started, the left and right bodies are turned back by different yarn feeders with the opening for the neck used therebetween. Organize. Then, in the process of turning back, the left and right bodies are sequentially suspended from the ale on the shoulder tip side, while the left and right bodies are switched between the front and rear needle beds, The needle is moved outward to form an empty needle between the neck opening and the left and right front bodies. In parallel with the knitting to increase the number of ales at the periphery of the neck opening, the back knitting is performed on the left and right bodies to form a shoulder drop. In the process of moving the left and right bodies outward and forming the shoulders in parallel, transfer to the needle bed opposite to the needle bed that forms the loop when moving the left and right front bodies outward. Then, the front and rear beds are relatively moved in a direction in which the body moves away from the neck opening. Then, when transferring to the original needle bed to perform the loop formation that continues the left and right body, the loop that was suspended during the return knitting process is left on the opposite needle bed, and the next course Repeat the knitting that transfers only the ale loop to the needle bed. By doing so, it is not necessary to transfer the loop, which has been put into a halt state by the return knitting for forming the shoulder drop, many times between the front and rear beds. There is no danger of elongation. Therefore, since the left and right bodies can be moved outward by any amount, even if the shoulder is formed, the number of pairs of neck collar openings can be freely increased.

In addition, the knitted fabric knitting method of the present invention includes a flat knitting machine including at least a pair of front and rear needle beds, one or both of which are slidable left and right, and sandwiches the body. Knit the left and right sleeves on both sides, move the left and right sleeves from the side to the shoulder, move the left and right sleeves to the body side, overlap the side end loop of the sleeve and the side end loop of the body, and form the next course loop at the overlap In the process of repeatedly knitting the garment in which the sleeve and the body are joined, the back knitting area where the sleeve and the body are joined while performing the back knitting with an appropriate number of ales located at the boundary between the sleeve and the body. A knitting method of forming a parallel pattern by forming a joint at the joint between the body and the left and right sleeves and then reducing the amount of the sleeve and body while feeding the sleeve and the body. It is noted that the knitting forming Indicate:

(1) In either the left or right turn-back knitting area, turn back with an appropriate number of ales including both the body and the sleeve at the boundary between the body and one sleeve

2) Lock the sleeve that was turned back in step 1 to the needle bed opposite to the body And moving the front and rear bead relatively in the direction in which the sleeve approaches the body.

(3) Of the sleeves locked to the opposing needle beds in step 2, continue forming the loop of the next course by turning back in the subsequent knitting. ゥ Transfer only the ale loop to the same needle bed as the body The process of returning the sleeve and the body, joining the side end loops together, and joining the sleeve and the body

(4) A step of repeating steps 1 to 3 until the formation of the return knitting area formed at the boundary between the one sleeve and the body is completed.

According to the configuration of the invention described above, the left and right sleeves are knitted on both sides of the body, the left and right sleeves are moved to the body side from the side to the shoulder, and the side end loop of the sleeve and the side end loop of the body are overlapped. The knitwear with the sleeves and body joined together by repeating the knitting that forms the loop of the next course. In the process, a return knitting region for joining the sleeve and the body is formed at the joint between the body and the left and right sleeves while performing the return knitting with an appropriate number of ales located at the boundary between the sleeve and the body. When the sleeves are moved to the body side while joining the knitting area and the sleeve is joined to the body, the loop of the sleeve in the knitting area is transferred to the opposite needle bed, and the sleeve is close to the body. Move the front and rear beads relative to When the sleeve is moved back to the same needle bed as the body, the aile loop, which was suspended during the return knitting process, remains on the needle bed opposite to the body, and Continue to form a loop with ゥ Transfer only the ale loop to the same needle bed as the body and return the sleeve to the body. In this way, the loop that has been put into a halt state in the process of knitting the return knitting area can be joined by moving the sleeve to the body side without transferring the loop repeatedly between the front and rear beds. By forming a parachute pattern following the turn-back knitting area, a parachute pattern having a uniform diameter can be formed, and there is no danger that the knitted fabric will be stretched or slack at the parachute pattern portion. Also, when a colored pattern is formed on the parasitized pattern portion, deformation can be prevented. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

The knitting method of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, a pair of front and rear needle beds is provided, and either or both of the front and rear needle beds are slidable left and right, and the knitting needle mounted in the needle groove of each of the front and rear needle beds. Explains how to use a two-bed flat knitting machine that can be transferred between knitting machines ^ _Q

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the front body 2 of the vest shown in FIG. 1 in which the number of ales at the periphery of the neck opening 1 is increased and the shoulder is formed in FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown. The case will be described as an example. Fig. 1 shows the front body 2 of the vest, and Fig. 2 is a knitting course diagram showing knitting after the start of the formation of the shoulders 9a and 9b.

The front body 2 of the vest is knitted in the direction of arrow Z from the hem rubber 3 toward the neck opening 1, and after the line L where the formation of the neck opening 1 starts, the neck opening 1 is formed. The right front body 2a on the right side and the left front body 2b on the left side. For the front right body 2a and the front left body 2b, the peripheral edge 4 of the neck opening 1 and the side end of the body 2 are turned back and knitted, respectively, so that the yarn feeding direction is reversed. Between the lines M and N at the top of the neck opening, remove the knitting in order from the aile on the shoulder side and set it to the resting state.Turn back and gradually reduce the knitting width, right front body 2a and left front body 2b is moved to the outside, and the needle located between the neck opening 1 and the left and right front bodies 2a and 2b is made an empty needle. The right front body 2a and the left front body 2b are knitted by forming a loop and increasing the number of ales on the periphery 4 of the neck opening 1 and turning back. After repeating the above-described knitting and increasing the number of ailes on the periphery 4 of the neck opening, a collar 5 is formed following the periphery 4 of the opening 1 for the neck, thereby providing an ale on the periphery 4 of the opening 1 for the neck. Knit the front body 2 with the number increased and the shoulders 9a and 9b formed.

Hereinafter, the knitting course will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, a smaller number of needles than those used in the actual knitting are used for ease of explanation. In addition, since a method of forming the neck opening 1 by the back knitting is already known, a description will be given from the start of knitting where the number of ales on the peripheral edge 4 of the neck opening 1 is increased.

The same knitting is performed symmetrically for the right front body 2a and the left front body 2b, and after knitting one front body (for example, right front body 2a) to the end, knitting the other front body (for example, left front body 2b) I do. In Course 1 in Fig. 2, the loops that form the periphery 4 of the neck opening 1 are locked to the needles A to D of the front bed, and the left front body 2b is engaged to the needles E to K of the front bed. Is stopped. The loop of the rim 4 of the neck opening 1 is in a rest state while the left and right front body portions 2a and 2b are turned back and knitted. In Course 2, the left front body 2b is transferred to the opposite rear bed, and in Course 3, the rear bed is pitched one pitch to the right, and the left front body 2 that does not form a loop in the next course in the subsequent turn-back knitting Move the loop excluding the ale loop 1 1 from the side end of b to the front bead and empty the needle E of the front bead. In Course 4, yarn is supplied to the needle E of the front bed by the yarn feeder 1 2 to form a new loop 13 around the rim 4 of the opening 1 for the neck neck and to the needles F to J of the front bed. Feed and knit left front body 2b. Then, in course 5, after the yarn feeder 12 is turned over, a tack 14 is performed with the needle K to prevent a hole from being opened at the reversal point, and the yarn is fed to the needles J to F of the front bead. In Course 6, all the loops of the left front body 2b locked to the front bead are transferred to the rear bead, and in Course 7, the rear bead is further racked to the right by one pitch, and then turned back Move the loop of the left front body 2b excluding the ale loops 11 and 14 of the needles M and J that do not form the loop of the next course in knitting to the front bed, and replace the needle F of the front bed with an empty needle And Before course 8 After newly forming a loop 15 on the needle F of the needle, the yarn is fed to the needles G to J of the front bead. In course 9, after the yarn feeder 12 is inverted, the tack 16 is performed with the needle K of the front bed and the yarn is fed to the needles J to G of the front bed. After that, the same knitting as shown in courses 6 to 9 is repeatedly performed while changing the target needle, and then the loops 11 and 14 are deposited in the rear pad by knitting of course 10. , 18 are moved back to the front bed. Then, the yarn is supplied to the needles N to A of the front bed in the course 11 and the knitting in the left front body 2b is completed by the above knitting.

By performing the above knitting, the shoulder 9b is formed on the left front body 2b, and the number of ales on the periphery 4 of the neck opening 1 is increased by 3 ales from the state of the course 1. Thereafter, the same knitting is performed on the right front body 2a, and the front body 2 is completed by forming the collar 5 following the periphery 4 of the neck opening 1.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the left front body 2b is moved outward in parallel with the turning back of the left front body 2b, and the position between the periphery 4 of the neck opening 1 and the left front body 2b is performed. The needle to be used is an empty needle, and loops 13, 15, and 17 are newly formed in this empty needle to increase the number of ales on the periphery 4 of the neck opening 1. Then, after moving the left front body 2 b outward, when returning to the front bed to perform the return knitting that continues on the next left front body 2 b, the left front body that was put into a pause state in the process of the return knitting 2 Loops 1 b, 1 b, 1 b, and 1 b 8 are left on the backbed, and only the ale loop, which forms the loop of the next course in the subsequent knitting, is moved back to the front bead. It is not necessary to transfer loops 11, 14, and 18 repeatedly between the front and rear needle beds. In the above embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the case of increasing only 3 mm ale was described. However, in practice, the number of jaws on the periphery 4 of the neck opening 1 can be freely changed without worrying about the occurrence of problems such as thread breakage. Can be increased.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment, a joining line in which adjacent loops are overlapped with each other around the shoulder above the side of the sweater knitted fabric 21 serving as the front part of the sweater in FIG. Spreading common name parashatsu This is an example of knitting a sweater in which a pattern called a pattern is formed. In the second embodiment, the joining of the body and the left and right sleeves of the sweater 21 knitted in different areas is started from the side. Prior to the formation of the parachute pattern, the return knitting regions 〇, P, Q, and R are formed by the return knitting at the joint of the sleeves 22 and 23 and the body 24 with the parachute pattern. To form a radial pattern that spreads radially with a uniform diameter 0

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the knitted fabric 21 for a sweater knitted on a flat knitting machine. The knit fabric 2 1 has a front body 24 and a right sleeve 22, and a left sleeve 23 has a side 25 a, 25 b and shoulders along a joining line 29 a, 29 b. Be joined. The front body 24 is knitted from the hem rubber 28, and the right sleeve 22 and the left sleeve 23 are knitted in the direction of the arrow Z from the cuffs 30a and 30b toward the shoulder. After the knitting of the front body 24 and the left and right sleeves 22 and 23 is completed up to the line S where the joining of the front body 24 and the left and right sleeves 2 2 and 23 starts, the left and right sleeves 2 2 and 2 3 Are moved to the front body 24 side, and the knitting is repeated by overlapping the side end loops of the left and right sleeves 2 and 23 with the side end loops of the front body 24 and repeating the knitting so that the front body 24 and the left and right sleeves are repeated. By knitting 22 and 23 as a single knitted fabric with a common yarn feeder, the left and right sleeves 22 and 23 are joined to the front body 24 and reduced.

In each turn-over knitting area, the joint line between the front body 24 and the left and right sleeves 22 and 23 is placed in a resting state from the first knitting width A—B—C and a—b—c to the ailes on the left and right side ends. Knitting is performed so that the number of knitting courses is the largest in 29 a and 29 b. After line U after the return knitting is completed, yarn is fed over I-D-C-c-D-i, and the front body 24 and the left and right sleeves 22 and 23 are knitted by a common yarn feeder. At the same time, the left and right sleeves 22 and 23 are moved to the front body 24 side at the joining line and joined, and the front body 24 and left and right sleeves 2 and 2 and 3 reduction lines 31-4 2. The knitting is repeated at multiple points and the knitting is repeated until the knitting width finally reaches H—G—g—h. The following is a description using the knitting course Figure 5. Since the knitting from the start of knitting of the front body 24 and the left and right sleeves 22 and 23 to the line S is known, the knitting after the line T will be described. In addition, since the same knitting is performed symmetrically on the right and left sides of the line Y—Y, the following description describes only the knitting of the joint between the front body 24 and the left sleeve 23.

In Course 1 in Fig. 5, the loop of the front body 24 is indicated by a white circle, and the loop of the left sleeve 23 is indicated by a black circle. The loop of the back knitting area a—b—c of the front body 24 and the left sleeve 23 is indicated by a frame. The loop between a and b of the return knitting area R is locked by the needles I to F of the front knitting area, and the loop between b and c of the return knitting area P is locked by needles E and B. In Course 2, the yarn feeder 50 feeds yarn i to the front bead located at the boundary between the left front sleeve 23 and the front body 24. I do. In course 3, the left sleeve 23 is transferred to the rear bed. Then, after the rear bedding is pitched one pitch to the left in course 4, only the loops of needles F to I that continue to form the next course in courses 5 to 6 are moved to the front bead and turned back. During knitting of the knitting area P′R, the rear needles J ■ K, which do not form a new loop, ■ K loops 52 and 53 are held on the rear pad. Then, the left sleeve 23 and the front body 24 are joined by overlapping the side end loops 5 4, 55 of the front body 24 and the left sleeve 23. In course 5, the yarn feeder 50 feeds the evening bed 56 with the needle M of the front bead to prevent holes, and feeds the needles C to G of the front bead and the needle of the front bead. H is set to the rest state. Then, in course &, the yarn feeder 50 is reversed, the tack 57 is performed with the needle H of the front bead, the yarn is supplied to the needles G to D of the front bead, and the needle C of the front bead is stopped. State. In course 7, the loop of the left sleeve 23 of needles E to H of the front bed is transferred to the rear bed. Then, after backtracking one pitch further to the left in course 8, the loop of the front body, which forms the loop of the next course in the subsequent knitting course, is transferred to the front bed, and the front body 24 and the left sleeve The left side loop 23 and the front body 24 are joined by superimposing the side end loops 5 8 and 5 9 of 2 3. In course 9, the needle C of the front bead that was in the halt state was used to prevent the hole 60 from being pierced, and the needle D ■ E of the front bead was fed. Perform needle check 6 1 to prevent holes from opening with needle F of needle and feed yarn to needle D ■ E of front lead. Turn left on course 1 1 The knitting area P ■ R knitting is completed, and all the loops of the left sleeve 23 held on the rear bed are moved to the front bed. Then, in course 12, the yarn feeder 50 is turned over, and then the yarn is fed from the needle C of the front bed to the front body 24 and the right sleeve 22. Thereafter, the same knitting as above is performed symmetrically in the right turn-back knitting area 0 ■ Q, and after the knitting of both the left and right turn-up knitting areas is completed, the front body 24 and the left and right sleeves 2 2 and 23 are shared. The yarn is fed at the yarn feeder, and the left and right sleeves 22 and 23 are moved to the front body 24 side and joined. In parallel with this, the loops located outside the lines 31 to 42 are reduced at the front body 24 and the left and right sleeves 22 and 23 at a plurality of locations, respectively, and moved to the line Y—Y side, and the adjacent A loop pattern is formed around the shoulder by reducing loops.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the loops 52, 53, 57 of the sleeve 23, which do not form a new loop, are repeatedly formed between the front and rear beads during knitting of the return knitting area. There is no need to transfer, and there is no problem such as thread breakage or loop lengthening. In the conventional knitting method, the reverse knitting area is not formed, and the parachute portion is formed without forming the R. Therefore, the required knitted fabric lengths are different. It was formed with the same number of loops. Therefore, the joint lines 29a and 29b where the longest knitting fabric length is required will be stretched and the comfort will be impaired, and if a colored pattern is formed in the parasitized pattern, it will be deformed. There was a problem. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the knitted fabric is formed in a portion where the number of loops is insufficient with respect to the required knitted fabric length to compensate for the insufficiency, and then the parachute pattern is formed. There is no problem such as deformation of the pattern.

In the above embodiment, the case where the front body 24 and the front sleeves 22 and 23 are joined has been described.However, the front body and the back body overlap each other, and are knitted as a tubular knitted fabric that is continuous at both ends. At the same time, the left and right sleeves may be knitted as a tubular knitted fabric in which the front and rear sleeves are continuous at both ends. In this case, the racking direction of the rear pad, which moves the right front sleeve to the front body, and the racking direction, which moves the left rear sleeve to the front body, are common, so the right front sleeve and the front body, and the left rear sleeve Rear knitting of the back pad that knits and joins the back knitting part of the back body in parallel and also moves the left front sleeve to the front body side Since the direction and the racking direction for moving the right rear sleeve to the rear body side are common, the joints of the left front sleeve and the front body, and the right back sleeve and the back part of the rear body should be joined in parallel. Also, if the sleeve is moved to the body side beyond the upper limit of the racking pitch in one direction, all the loops of the sleeve are temporarily locked on one side of the needlebed, and the needlebed is It is only necessary to make a turn back to racking. Even in this case, the number of transfers can be significantly reduced.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The third embodiment is an embodiment of knitting a knitted fabric in which a parachute pattern spreads radially with a uniform diameter. Fig. 6-a is a front view of the knitted fabric 61 knitted according to the third embodiment, Fig. 6-b is a plan view of the knitted fabric 61, and Fig. 6-c is a knitted fabric 61. FIG. 2 is a view showing the state of knitting on a knitting machine. The knitted fabric 6 1 is knitted in a tubular shape from the set-up portion 6 2 in the direction of the arrow Z, and the knitted fabric 6 1 and the front knitted fabric portion 6 1 a are arranged in a state where the lateral direction of the knitted fabric 6 1 is the longitudinal direction of the needle bed. The rear knitted fabric portion 6 1b is knitted as a tubular knitted fabric that is continuous at both ends. When the knitting reaches line J, the yarn feeder is set to the right turn knitting area 63a, 63b and the left turn knitting area 64a, 64b in the directions of double arrows 65, 66, respectively. The yarn is reversed at the side end of the knitting width, and the front and rear beads are fed in a U-shape and knitted back. After completion of knitting of both left and right return knitting areas 6 3 _a> 6 3 b, 6 4 a, 6 4 b, the yarn is again fed from the line to the entire knitting width in an annular shape, and the joining line is formed every time the course is knitted appropriately 6 At 7 places, the loops located outside the joining line are moved toward the fabric center line W-W direction, and the knitting of overlapping adjacent loops in parallel is repeated to form a parasol pattern. To achieve. In the knitted fabric 61 formed in this manner, the diameter of the parachute portion is kept uniform in order to form a parachute pattern after the insufficient knitted fabric length is compensated by the back knitting. Therefore, a knitted fabric having high commercial value can be knitted without the parasitized pattern portion being stretched or loosened, and without deformation even when a colored pattern pattern is formed on the parasitized portion. Although the case of knitting a tubular knitted fabric has been described in the above third embodiment, the present invention can be applied to knitting of a flat knitted fabric as well as a tubular knitted fabric. . Further, in the above-described embodiment, the left and right turn-back knitting regions are respectively formed on the front and rear needle beds, but, for example, the right turn-back knitting region is referred to as a front bead, and the left turn-back knitting region is referred to as a rear pad. As described above, each of the return knitting regions may be knitted on one of the front and rear needle beds. In the above embodiment, a two-bed flat knitting machine was used. However, transfer members such as transfer needles and transfer jacks are arranged on the pair of front and rear lower needle beds at the same pitch as the lower needle beds. It can also be carried out with a four-bed flat knitting machine equipped with an upper auxiliary bed. Further, according to the present invention, the yarn feeder is reversed in the middle of the knitting width to form a knitting area in which the knitting in which the needles located outside the knitting width are sequentially set to the rest state is repeated, and one part of the knitting area is formed. The present invention can be used for knitting of a knitted fabric including an area in which a part or the entire loop is shifted between the front and rear needle beds and moved sideways, and is not limited to knitting of a knitted fabric having the above-described shape. Industrial applicability

In the middle of the knitting width, such as the so-called parasitic pattern, in which the front line is formed in the neck opening of the vest or sweater and the joining line where the adjacent loops overlap is radiated around the neck opening. The knitting, in which a part or all of the loops in the reverse knitting area knitted by reversing the feeding direction with the front and rear needle beds, are shifted, the knitting is performed. Can be organized without generating.
